[02:35:50] Kwisher: for my b/e because it's pretty easy & quick to setup
[02:40:56] [Kid]: yeah, that was one i was looking at
[02:41:00] [Kid]: and i like ubuntu
[02:41:13] [Kid]: but i do like fedora too
[02:41:21] [Kid]: i am most familiar with debian
[02:41:29] [Kid]: but i think i am going to try something new with fedora
[02:41:41] [Kid]: i think performance-wise, they will all be similar

[13:20:21] [Kid]: mengoshmink, i just ended up going with Debian
[13:20:27] [Kid]: used to it and works well
[13:20:33] [Kid]: but i am having an issue still
[13:20:53] [Kid]: i am getting " MythCoreContext::GetBackendServerIP(): No address defined for host:"
[13:23:12] mengoshmink: I want to try debian again but it will be next year, I will install it to my server, but only when I upgrade the hardware, which will only happen when I can afford it
[13:23:42] mengoshmink: That error sounds familiar but I can't remember why, does everything work or is there a real problem?
[13:24:53] [Kid]: real problem
[13:25:01] [Kid]: backend won't start up
[13:25:13] [Kid]: and since i don't use GUI, i can't run mythtv-setup
[13:25:19] mengoshmink: ah,
[13:25:39] mengoshmink: why no gui?
[13:25:45] [Kid]: so i think there is a config setting i need to put in manually, just not sure where.
[13:25:53] [Kid]: i don't use GUIs in Linux
[13:26:01] mengoshmink: could be in mysql or in a text file
[13:26:18] mengoshmink: oh, well, you like to make things difficult don't you lol :)
[13:26:31] [Kid]: yeah, i have looked. i think i found the file, but i think it is something that is not there versus something that i need to modify
[13:26:36] [Kid]: haha
[13:26:36] mengoshmink: I must admit I run my server headless but I do allow X11 forwarding over ssh
[13:26:45] [Kid]: if i wanted GUI, i use windows
[13:27:16] mengoshmink: hmm, I am using an old version of mythtv so I don't want to give you bad advice.
[13:27:22] [Kid]: what i am thinking about doing is having multiple backends for myth and that way i can record multiple IPTV streams
[13:27:34] [Kid]: not sure if it will work, but we will see
[13:28:04] mengoshmink: there are lots of text / keyboard friendly based gui's
[13:28:15] mengoshmink: not sure if you need multiple BE's for that
[13:39:38] [Kid]: yeah, not sure yet
[13:39:45] [Kid]: i have to get the BE running first! :)
[13:40:31] mengoshmink: sorry, sorting out a Christmas present
[13:40:39] mengoshmink: what is the file you have found and what does it say?
[13:41:10] mengoshmink: Have you considered setting up a virtualPC with a gui to get it working, then when you understand how, do it for real without a gui?
[13:43:07] [Kid]: guess i could do that
[13:46:55] mengoshmink: what is the file you found?
[13:51:24] ShapeShifter499 (ShapeShifter499!~ShapeShif@unaffiliated/shapeshifter499) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:00:14] [Kid]: config.xml
[14:00:22] [Kid]: but it doesn't have the backend IP stored in it
[14:00:26] [Kid]: i think that is stored in the DB
[14:01:10] mengoshmink: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/123250#123250 < sort of relevant
[14:02:00] mengoshmink: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_General < if the defaults are set to localhost something isn't right, obviously
[14:04:01] mengoshmink: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/440487 < also sort of relevant
[14:04:38] mengoshmink: basically, sounds like no-gui for setup a really bad idea, no-gui long term, sure why not
[14:05:53] mengoshmink: I have to admit, the more I think about it the more I think setting up the BE with just the CLI would be unnecessarily hard. The devs have written a good setup program, to not use it seems somewhat unreasonable
[14:06:16] mengoshmink: Just my thoughts anyway, no offence intended
[14:07:02] mengoshmink: $ cat /etc/mythtv/config.xml
[14:07:02] mengoshmink: # to be filled in by mythtv-setup
[14:07:04] [Kid]: yeah i understand
[14:07:17] [Kid]: just thought there would be a config file, but looks like it is in the DB
[14:07:27] [Kid]: so that makes it really tough to do without the setup file
[14:07:34] mengoshmink: you ever run mythtv before?
[14:07:41] [Kid]: no, this is my first time
[14:07:50] mengoshmink: oh my!
[14:08:20] [Kid]: haha yeah.
[14:08:35] mengoshmink: Well, there is more in the setup than just pointing to the db, eg all the channel scanning, setting up adapters, storage groups are all done through mythtv-setup
[14:08:41] [Kid]: it was one of the only ones that had an IPTV recorder
[14:09:28] [Kid]: oh damn
[14:09:34] [Kid]: yeah, guess i have to do that
[14:09:49] [Kid]: which GUI you use?
[14:09:59] [Kid]: X windows?
[14:10:03] mengoshmink: yup
[14:10:18] mengoshmink: X11 forwarding from server to my desktop PC
[14:10:32] joki (joki!~joki@p54861687.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has joined #mythtv-users
[14:11:24] mengoshmink: I suppose you could install a minimal desktop like twm, run mythtv-setup then uninstall twm after a month of knowing everything works
[14:12:09] mengoshmink: I can't remember but I don't think I had a screen attached to my server other than when I installed the OS, everything else has been done over ssh and X11 forwarding
[14:12:49] mengoshmink: right, I need to fix some lunch for today, Wednesday and Thursday and possibly Tuesday
[14:13:20] [Kid]: thanks a lot for the help mengo
[14:13:50] mengoshmink: not sure I was much help but if I was, great, will be back at some point, feel free to PM me
